Lionel Hollins said that Brook Lopez is becoming a more versatile player.

"Brook has made great strides in becoming a more versatile player," Hollins said. "That’s all I ask for him to be -- more committed to be being an all-around player, to being a better rebounder and not just being happy with 16-17 points, but going out there and rebounding the ball, blocking shots, helping on defense, all of the things that it takes to win. Diving on the floor for a loose ball." Lopez has been an injury risk throughout his career, but the fact that he played 72 games last season should help his value. Aug 1 - 12:04 PM

Brook Lopez and the Nets have agreed upon a three-year contract worth $60 million.

This has been a foregone conclusion since a few hours after free agency began, as it appears BroLo didn't even contemplate leaving Brooklyn. The third year was originally reported as a player option, but that's not the case. The 27-year-old has All-Star talent and he's coming off a nice season in which he played 72 games, though his injury history still makes him a risky pick on draft day. Jul 1 - 11:36 AM

The Nets and Brook Lopez are finalizing a deal worth a reported $60 million over three years.

Brooklyn prioritized BroLo in free agency, particularly after trading away Mason Plumlee on draft night, and they quickly locked him up just hours into free agency. Lopez played 72 games last season, quelling concerns about his surgically-reconstructed foot, and he's a solid top-40 fantasy player when healthy. The deal reportedly gives Lopez a third-year player option, and it also includes "some protections for the Nets should a recurrence of Lopez's past foot issues sideline him again." Jul 1 - 1:51 AM

The Brooklyn Nets are nearing an agreement to re-sign Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young.

There doesn't appear to be any drama in Brooklyn right now, and it sounds like the Nets could have a deal in place for both players very soon. Lopez is reportedly looking for a three-year, $60 million deal, while Young is targeting a four-year, $50 million deal. Stay tuned. Jul 1 - 12:48 AM

Sergey Karasev worked out on Sunday for the first time since having knee surgery in March.

Doctors told Karasev that he might not be game-ready until "the end of August or mid-September," so he still has a long way to go in his rehab. The good news is that he should be ready for training camp and there's no doubt he'll be available on opening night.

The Nets are likely to release newly-acquired Quincy Miller, according to Shams Charania of RealGM.

Miller was acquired in exchange for Steve Blake on Monday, but may want to rent in Brooklyn rather than buy as he looks like a long-shot to stick around with the Nets. The 22-year-old has some upside, but still needs some seasoning in the D-League and can be left off fantasy rosters this season.

Thomas Robinson said that he wants a long-term relationship with the Nets.

"I’m glad I’m finally here and hopefully we can make this a long-term relationship," Robinson said. "This time I hope it’s for real." Robinson nearly ended up with the Nets last season before the 76ers swooped in and signed him, but he now has a two-year deal with Brooklyn. Nets general manager Billy King said that Robinson will bring a physical presence to their frontcourt, but owners in standard leagues can ignore him while the Nets are at full strength.
